For the past two months rumors relative

Serve to Confirm tho Fact that II Scheme OF
Sale IL on Hand.
BALTIMORE, March l0.-Robert Garrett
this afternoon virtually admitted to a
prominent Balsimorean that there was
considerable truth in the newspaper talk
OF big railroad deal. He would give no
definite idea Of the particulars OF tho
acheme, but from his remarks the infer
enco was drawn that the Baltimore Il
Ohio Railroad has become a factor in a
syndicate that Is to control something like
the national railway. reaching from Cana
da to the Gull OF Mexico, and probably
from New York TO the extreme West.
It is generally believed that the biggest
railroad deal on record has been or is
about to bs made aud that the passage OF
the Interstate Commerca bill hurried the
affair to settlement. DIR. Sully has been
active in arranging the details OF the
scheme and he is the only one positively
known TO Ls connected with it, but a
complete chain is believed to have been
formed OF companies operating connect
ing roads running thu entire length OF the
North American Continent. Opinions
differ as to whether a single share OF the
Baltimore 4 Ohio stock has been or will
be transferred, but the belief ia gaining
ground that the deal includes not only
the road but also ts express and cleeping
car interests.
The widest sort OF talk is freely iudulsed
in but actually no facts can be obtained
from any one, in position to know any
thing about ii. Many are inclined to be.
lieye that the 1900 shares held by john
IS. Hopkins trustees or ut least considera.
Bile portion Of it has boen placed under the
control OF the new syndicate, but the
g, 900 shares held by the city Of Baltimore
cannot be touched without epec;al oct OF
the city Council.
The thirty thousand shares lett in tust
by tine late John W. Garrett cannot be dis.
posed Of, as the vii! did not forbid
sale but simply advised that it BE- held in
trust for twenty years 80 thst controlling
interest might he eecnred II advanta-
geous terms were offered.
Alr. Garrett to-day told O gentleman at
tho Merchants Clue thu. be might rest
assured that whatever was done would
be i,r the best interest OF Baltimore, but
further information he could not give Just
now. From thia It was inferred that the
scheme WAS not fully contaminated and
that important developments might be
expected in the near future.
